In appearance it bears a resemblance to the
structures near Dunbeath p. [page] 93 (Nos 93 & 94)
The Eastmost Mound has a diameter of
66’ by 60’ and is of low elevation. An entrance
passage visible at its inner end where it is 3’ in
width leads inwards from the N. [North]. In the
interior a number of large thin slabs set on
end protrude from the turf at various points,
and one pointed stone such as is used to form a pillar
in a galleried house. The number and
position of the slabs do not suggest a
chambered cairn and the remains are
probably those of a dwelling of some sort.
Their dwellings seem to be akin to the secondary
structures so frequently found in this county
surrounding the brochs.

Cairn. Westfield (26)
At the edge of a grass park some 3/4 m. [mile] SW. [South West]
of Westfield House and about 160 yds. [yards] to the S. [South]
of the Forse Water is a cairn entirely overgrown
with grass. It has a diameter of about 36’
and an elevation of 3’.6”. The top of a
large slab protruding near the centre
suggests that it is of a chambered character.
About 100 yds [yards] to the N. [North] of the last and
about 60 yds. [yards] back from the Forse Water
on the top of the bank is a circular mound
